uppose we set aside the most flagrant error committed by Descartes
in his interpretation of that path or method, namely, his assigning of a
role to the idea of substance therein, as he did when he applied it, as a
matter of course, to the “ego.” Even then, and adopting the most favorable formulation of it (which I just advanced), the original idealist
method would [be found to] involve most serious errors.

We have emancipated ourselves from [holding] a substantialist interpretation & have substituted for it the idea of reality as performativeness. Reality would [accordingly] amount, purely and simply, to the action effected by the circumstance on me & to my action on the circumstance. The armchair [for example] is that which serves me for the purpose of sitting down, &I am the one who puts the armchair to [that] use.

That is why the event of finding being was
called à-letheúein by the Greeks, that is to say, dis-covery, un-concealment. But àlétheia has been translated by the word “truth.” The
light I am seeing conceals or covers up its own truth.
